Estimating CO2 Emissions at Construction Sites: Tools and Automation for Builders

CO2 Emissions Estimation on Construction Sites: Tools and Automation

Carbon footprint reporting is becoming a requirement for Italian construction companies, mandatory for public tenders (CAM), increasingly required by private developers with ESG goals and green financing.

Key Points

  • CAM Edilizi (D.M. June 2022) make embodied carbon assessment mandatory for public works
  • Two components: Embodied Carbon (materials) and Operational Carbon (site energy/fuel)
  • Tools: One Click LCA, Tally (Revit plugin), EC3, all integrate with BIM models
  • IoT monitoring automates operational emissions tracking (fuel meters, smart electricity meters)
  • Typical residential building: 75-90 t CO2eq per 1,000 sqm, 20-30% reducible with low-carbon materials
  • Companies with CO2 tracking gain access to green financing and ESG-driven tenders
  • Elementa provides pre-assessment material intelligence for estimating embodied carbon from the design phase
